Hey betches. Did you know that "praying without ceasing" and spiritual rituals devised to keep you "safe" has a name? In this episode Tia and Laura breakdown scrupulocity, examining the fruit of compulsive religious behaviors. We're also popping into pop culture with the Golden Bachelor, Will and Jada, and taking our hot flash into the perimenopause rant you won't want to miss.

The views and opinions expressed by the hosts of the Wise Jezebels are their own. This podcast does not take the place of therapy, medical advice, or any other healing modality. For support in resolving and recovering from religious trauma, purity culture, cults, fundamentalism, and other adverse religious experiences, we encourage people to check out the Center for Trauma Resolution and Recovery–a fully online trauma coaching company specializing in working with folks coming out of high control groups, systems, and relationships. The Wise Jezebels podcast is not anti-religion but it is anti -harm, -power and control, -oppression and, -abuse and will speak to the harmful practices and messaging of fundamentalist groups.
